All things considered...

if you say so.

Wow, I didn't know it was even possible to be a bigot against fact-based reporting.

Still, this is the perfect example of conservative behavior. I don't like the conclusion, therefore I will launch baseless attacks against the messenger.

I'll start worrying when an Antarctic glacier lands on my head.

For Insurers, No Doubts on Climate Change

When big insurance is making trillions of dollars of adjustments based on the science of climate change, either conservatives have to admit they are liars or they have to say that the free market is wrong about climate change.

So were past the point of no return, why bother to do anything now!

If this plays out well, 15 feet must might put me with some prime beachfront property here in southern cal.

Can we get an older white guy in a suite, ASAP, to explain how this is not a problem?

Talking points should include, but not be limited to:

- "Climate has always changed, one way or another"
- "There is no possible way humans could be responsible for this"
- "Think of the new beachfront property!"
- "The other planets are warming, too"
- "Replacing the species diversity lost in a mass extinction usually takes less than 10 million years!"
- "Not destroying the planet costs jobs"

The climate has always changed, and neither major party has proposed anything that would stop the climate from changing. Losing yourself in sarcasm does not change those facts.

Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same.

Bull.

Shit.

Now a dead letter, cap and trade was a free-market palliative. It would not have done enough, but it was something.

And, yes, the climate has always changed, but never this fast. Google "Permian Triassic extinction" for an idea of what rapid change might mean, and keep in mind that the rate of change at that time was not, as far as is known, as fast as is occurring now.

No. Denver is a nice place, go outside and get some fresh air and exercise, and maybe you can overcome your sarcasm addiction.

But remember that for Cabronsito, sarcasm trumps all other arguments.

Inhale Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddows ass gas, and you'll feel the same.

How about: "The earth is still colder than the sun. In cosmic terms, we are still relatively lucky?"

Interesting. If this is true, then flat FL and any flat areas will be under water??

Florida is just a mass of loose limestone and peat bog. Maybe it floats.

A lot of Florida, and the Eastern coast, is screwed.

At 15ft, Lake Okeechobee becomes part of the sea once again and everything south of Deerfield Beach in the east and Cape Coral in the west is underwater. No more Key West.

JFK airport is also underwater. Buh Bye to most of the Netherlands as well. C'est la vie Venice. Alexandria. Ho Chi Min City, Shanghai, New Orleans, parts of London, Oakland (think of how expensive the BA will be!)....

You get the picture.

Was out on a boat off Florida a couple years ago and said to myself while looking back at it, had the ocean been just 10 or 15 feet higher none of this state would be habitable!

No, not happening. It's not convenient for the gluttonous sociopaths/oligarchy, so it's not really happening. Pollution isn't real either. You see, global warming has been happening before, and so has pollution, therefore do whatever makes your life comfortable. What if the scientists happen to be right? That's easy, we will print more earths.

Fox watching nitwits.

What do you think of the Whale Bones found in the California Sierra Mountains ?

Who you gonna blame for that ?

The question is do we spend Trillions, abandon our economy for some nonsense boom dongle ineffective projects. No thanks! Pass on that !
